7/2
Point/hurdles winner who made a bright start over fences, showing a likeable attitude when opening his account at Newcastle (20f, heavy) in April. Excellent second at Wetherby on return but needs to shrug off a poor run at Carlisle.

12/1
Fairly useful hurdler for Gordon Elliott and made an encouraging start chasing for his new yard with third-place finishes at Uttoxeter and Southwell in early summer. Sound return to action at Bangor but reportedly bled when well held at Wetherby since. Headgear back on.

5/2
Has improved since joining this yard, winning at Uttoxeter and Perth in April, and upped his game further when good second in Tommy Whittle at Haydock (25.6f, heavy) last month. Given time to recover and needs considering.

4/1
Winner of a pair of handicap chases around 3m last winter but just respectable efforts at best so far this term and bit more needed in first-time headgear.

14/1
Multiple winner in this sphere for Andrew Hamilton, running right up to his best when scoring at Perth (30.5f) off 1 lb higher in spring 2023. Given a considerate ride following a 20-month layoff when starting out for this yard at Haydock and should come on for that.

14/1
Much improved sent chasing last season, landing handicaps at this course and Wetherby (2). Below par both starts this term, however, including when upped to this trip over C&D last time.

13/2
Hurdle winner. Also runner-up 3 times over fences at the end of 2022. Given a chance by the handicapper and proved his ability is still intact after 22 months off when second at Ayr 26 days ago and entitled to come on for that.

10/1
Winner of Ffos Las handicap on second start over fences/final run for Sam Thomas in April 2023. Went close twice in higher-grade handicap chases at Newcastle last winter (including this race) and step back in right direction at Ayr 3 weeks ago. Dangerous to discount.

Forecasts

Jacks Parrot (5/2), Choosethenews (7/2), Jet Legs (4/1), Lord Roco (13/2), Prince Des Fichaux (10/1), Santonito (12/1), If Not For Dylan (14/1), Carrigeen Castle (14/1)

Verdict

JACKS PARROT confirmed himself still on the upgrade when an excellent second in the Tommy Whittle at Haydock and can resume winning ways back down in class. Prince des Fichaux and If Not For Dylan are both lurking on dangerous marks and rate the main threats.
